Main Stand Kit – Triumph Street Twin / Street Cup / Speed Twin 900cc

This kit is superb value for money. The main stand has lovely clean welds and the powder coating is flawless. The kit is well packed and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. If you’re fitting this kit to a Street Twin with the stock Triumph exhaust I wouldn’t bother fighting with the Tec supplied stop bung. It’s much too big for the hole on the exhaust. I spent £3 on the official Triumph stop bung (part number T2081928). The Triumph part fits perfectly and there’s no need to use silicone grease, it just snaps into place. It’s a shame because the Tec part is nicer than the Triumph one but it doesn’t fit so I decided not to use it. I found it was possible to fit the spring without removing the right hand exhaust silencer. It was necessary to fit the pivot bolt end fitrst and stretch the spring to fit over the lug on the main stand. I didn’t have the strength to do this by hand. Instead I used some thin nylon rope, looped one end around my foot and attached the other end to the spring. By laying down next to the bike it was possible to extend my leg and slip the spring lug over the main stand lug. Note that if the bike is on the side stand it will try to move before the spring extends sufficiently so I put the bike in gear and chocked the rear wheel to prevent movement.

Ordered it as soon as it came back into stock, despatched & delivered within about a week, couldn't fit it til now.
Read the instructions, Watched the TEC how to video for clarification of fitting, fitted it within 30 mins, so staraight forward, everything lined up as it should. Needed a little extra muscle with the spring & exhaust bung, but I am old !
Didnt have to put any risers on it, (2024 Speed Twin 900) and really easy to put the bike on & off the stand. Well impressed.

excellent service

Order Delivery - Excellent, From order to delivery 1 week not bad for England to New Zealand. DHL Courier service and tracking excellent.
Quality of stand was good - very sturdy.
Instructions - not so good. Quality of photo's was poor. The rubber stand stop needed the hole in bracket on muffler drilling out by an extra 2mm. I used rubber grease to help hammer it into hole after removing left muffler from bike.
Fitting of spring - tricky. After consulting a local Triumph mechanic, he suggested finding a video on the web. I found a TEC video for a Street Twin. Amazing, finally found where to attach the spring to motor. So simple once you know where to look. A good clear photo would have saved me lots of anguish.
My next challenge is to learn how to lift the bike onto its new stand - out of practice, years since I've had a bike with a main stand.
Would I recommend this product to someone ? Yes, especially for cost saving.

Arrived on time fitted perfect and works like it should do with no issues.
